Remove a string in all the languages Android

android, android-resources, string, xml

Solution

default strings.xml file and automatically propagate the deletion to the other strings.xml file of other translations

ADT does not support this operation. You need to get rid of the text from all your XML files yourself, which should not be hard task anyway, as it would be sufficient to do project global search (in Eclipse CTRL-H), set file mask to `*.xml` and search for your string key. Then just remove this file from each file found.

Problem

I have an app with several translations, and I want to delete some strings. How can I refactor and delete them only once for example in the default `strings.xml` file and automatically propagate the deletion to the other strings.xml file of other translations?
